It was as if a thunderbolt had struck Gu Hui’s head, splitting her brain and causing it to explode and buzz, splitting her eyes wide open, her eyes almost bulging out.
“Mother, what you said is not true right, how can I not be your own, I, I, I ……”
Mrs. Gu slapped her face again, “I raised you for fifteen years, I gave you a dowry that no ordinary person would have in their lifetime, so that you could be clothed and fed for the rest of your life, and yet you repay us like this, if I had known that we shouldn’t have saved you in the first place, I should have let the wild dogs bite you to death.”
“No, it’s not like that ……”
Blood ran down the corner of Gu Hui’s mouth, she couldn’t be bothered to wipe it and eagerly tried to pull Mrs. Gu’s hand, but she was shrugged off by Mrs. Gu.
“I clearly remember father carrying me on his shoulders when I was a child, carrying me around the yard to play with mother accompanying me, how could I not be your own, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!”
“Not only you, but Wen’er is not our own child either.”
Master Gu’s cold voice came over from the side.
Gu Hui paused incredulously for a long time before stiffening and craning her neck to look at him, her body slowly going limp as she murmured in despair, “No, it’s not true, it’s not true!”
She remembered clearly when Gu Wen was born, her mother had been in pain for three days and nights before giving birth to Gu Wen, how could it not be true?
“Someone!”
The two maids guarding the door came in.
“Keep Missy down and serve her well!”
“No, no ……”
Gu Hui pushed away the two maids’ hands and hugged Master Gu’s legs, begging bitterly, “Father, no matter what, I was raised by you and Mother, for the sake of so many years of love, spare me, spare me!”
Master Gu looked at her indifferently, as if he was looking at a stranger, “If it wasn’t for the fact that we have raised you for so many years, do you think you would still have a life now?”
“No! Father ……”
“Take it down!”
The maid covered her mouth and dragged her off.
……
“Young master ……”
Gu Yi had just entered the house with Bao’er in his arms when a boy came into the courtyard and whispered a few words in Xiao Si’s ear, who walked into the house.
Gu Yi looked at him, put Bao’er on the bed, signaled Xiao Si to pour water over, he held it for Bao’er to drink, “Uncle went out for a trip, let Xiao Si play with you, uncle will be back soon.”
“Okay.”
Bao’er answered in a childish voice.
Gu Yi stroked his head and came out of the house.
The boy standing in the courtyard took a few steps forward and whispered a few words, and Gu Yi lifted his feet and walked out.
In the northwest corner of the Gu family’s Liancheng piece of mansion, there was a small mansion, next to the back of the hill, on the hill were the herbs planted by Dr. Yao, and as the weather turned warm, the smell of the herbs was faintly coming through.
Inside the house, Master Zhang was shrivelled up in a corner of the floor. Ever since he was captured that day, he had been locked up here, without a bed, without a quilt, without even straw on the floor, he was used to being pampered, so how could he stand such treatment, in just a few days, he had lost his face.
When he heard the door ring, Master Zhang struggled to lift his eyes and saw that it was Gu Yi who walked in. He used his last ounce of strength to lunge at him, but just as his body rose, he was kicked out by the boy.
Master Zhang’s body hit the wall and bounced hard on the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out with it, his eyes rolled over a few times and he almost passed out.
“Where did the beauty smile come from?”
Gu Yi looked at him condescendingly, as if he was looking at a mole.
Gurgling blood flowed out of Master Zhang’s mouth, and he didn’t even have the strength to struggle to get up, slumping to the ground like a puddle of mud.
“No?”
Master Zhang strained to look at him with a slight inclination of his head, a wry smile on the corners of his mouth, he knew he would not survive today, but he still had Huai’er, who had been blessed by that man and would have the chance to help him take revenge later.
Looking at his smile, Gu Yi also smiled, a smile that did not reach his eyes, “You think sending Zhang Huai away in advance will save his life?”
Hearing his words, Master Zhang’s pupils fiercely shrank for a moment.
Gu Yi turned and walked out.
“You, what do you mean?”
Zhang Lao asked, struggling with the last of his strength.
The voice that answered him was Gu Yi’s icy cold voice, “Give him a pain!”
……
“Yue’er is back!”
Song Lin shouted, the whole Song family came out of the house, looking at the obviously thinner Song Wan Yue, Grandma Song was heartbroken, “What kind of illness has Yi’er got, why have you been gone for so many days.”
“He’s got a rash.”
The family were all startled, especially Song Lin, “No wonder his face is covered, is he still not well?”
“Well, you can’t see the wind when you have a rash, so we haven’t dared to come back for so many days, he’s masking his face because he’s left marks on his face and he’s afraid people will find it ugly.”
Grandma Song cried and laughed, “He is a boy, what is he afraid of looking ugly or not.”
“Who says it isn’t, Uncle Gu and Auntie Gu have also persuaded him for half a day, he just thinks it’s ugly, when he comes home, no one can say anything.”
“That’s natural, don’t wait for him to come home either, I’ll follow you guys to see him tomorrow. ”
“Grandma it’s better not to go, he doesn’t want to see anyone now, when he gets used to it in a few days, he will come over.”
……
Two days later, Mo An came to the Gu family in a horse-drawn carriage.
